A PARSONAGE FOR REV. j. MCCAR-
TY DUCKwALL.-An attempt is being
made by the Presbyterian church, of
Petersburg, Grant Co. w. Va, to build
parsonage for their pastor Rev. J. Nc
Carly Duckwall, formerly of Martins
burg. But the membership is small
and the community is made up of peo-
pie in very moderate circumstances /;
threesore they cannot raise the amount
needed at home. During recent years,
the church has lost many valuable
members and friends, by deaths, re-
movals, etc. Mr.. Duckwall went to
this field three years ago Hnder the di-
rectiops of the Committee of Home
Missions, of winchester Presbytery and
has been laboring, with some success, to
build up church, that had become
very much discouraged. Contributions
to the Parsonage FUND.- can be sent
to Mr. Duckwall, at Petersburg, or de-
posted to his credit with the National
Bank of Martinsburg.
THE body of Mr.. Henry Herberg, a
brother Of Miss Julia Herberg, of this
city, was brought here from Columbus,
o., for burial on Monday. His death
took the community by surprise, and
his friends were deeply affected. Henry
was home few years ago, and was then
not only enjoying excellent health, but
in the best of spirits. He was an in
dustrious, well behaved young gentle
man, and was greatly respected by all
who knew him. Like many other young
men Of this city, he left home after get
ting his trade in the B. 4 o. shops, to
battle for success IN strange places, and
just when he bad begun to reap the re-
ward of his application, the summons
came, ard he entered the dark bourn
from whence no traveller ever returns,
There is profound sympathy in the
hearts of this community for the lonely
sister. May loving hearts and friendly
